*PHOTOS* FREE photos: 50th birthday/anniversary

My husband turned the big 5-0 this week (January 2023). To commemorate the event, I (Lisa) thought I’d upload some free-to-use photos for a 50th – some 50 Years cake photos and some more generic cake photos for any kind of birthday or even a morning tea.

Many years ago I used to do day-in-the-life type shoots where I went behind the scenes and followed an event with a camera and photographed the day as it was. I was asked to do some photos for a 50th wedding anniversary and that’s where these photos came from, so if you want to use them for an anniversary instead, they’d work just as well. And as I said, there are a few generic ones there too.

These photos are free to keep and use however you like – blog posts, websites, articles, a birthday event, give them away to others. Just don’t sell them. Access them below by clicking on one and right-clicking to save the image.

You’ll find more free photos HERE.

And you’ll find a large range of free-to-use photos on my Tumblr site: www.lookingglassfreephotos.tumblr.com (A tip: You don’t have to be a Tumblr member to access the photos.)

Oh, and welcome to our new category *Photography*. This year (2023) we are planning on doing a little more with the photos we have, whether it’s offering more for free or putting some on the site as prints for sale. So you might find some behind-the-scenes info and product updates in this blog.
